Molina And Valentin
671 wordsKiss of the Spider Woman The musical, "Kiss of the Spider Woman", was very enjoyable to see. The characters in the musical were played very well. The main characters in the musical were Molina and Valentin. These characters went together rather humorously and made the musical worth seeing. Even though it was very well put together production, I regret that towards the end of the play I was just ready get out of there. Molina was the main character in the play. Whenever Molina was on stage, he al...

Appearance Of Some Characters From Henry VI
674 wordsThe first thing that struck me about The Merry Wives of Windsor was the appearance of some characters from Henry VI: Falstaff, Bardolph, Nym, and Pistol. The second thing that struck me was the complexity of the plot. Shakespeare is tough enough for me to understand on its own, without the introduction of a plots that twist and turn, and entwine each other like snakes. I wish I could see the play performed, because it seems like a delightful comedy, and I feel that seeing actual players going th...

Play Jean
556 wordsIn some works of literature a character who appears briefly or does not appear at all has a significant presence. Even though a character may not be present in a play, does not mean that they have no importance. In fact, these characters have more of an influence over the way the other characters act and speak. Two plays that exhibit this are Miss Julie, by August Strindberg and Mourning Becomes Electra, by Eugene O'Neill. In Mourning Becomes Electra, Ezra Mannon has a relatively small part; he ...

Poe's The Conqueror Worm
818 wordsPoe's 'The Conqueror Worm': Deeper Meaning To the Poem We often call Edgar Allen Poe one of the fathers of terror and mystery. His twisted, Macabre tales and poems are filled with great detail and often end with a dismal twist. 'The Conqueror Worm' is one example of his masterful rhymes and tells how a play on life turns into reality for mankind. The setting is a theater but it is not just a site for plays. Poe describes it to be that way to trick the reader, but the theater is actually the sett...

Egeon, at the request of the Duke, describes his adventures and relates his life story. This provides the history of The Comedy of Errors, and helps keep track of the confusion, which unfolds during the play. There are several themes that Shakespeare uses which are only loosely related to the actual comedy. The conflicts between burden and freedom, rule a...

Very Humorous Play
1,592 wordsPlay write-ups Hard Candy by: Jonathan Rand Hard Candy is a one act comedy about hiring practices for Banff Enterprises. It is set in the offices of employment at Banff Enterprises. The interesting part of the play is that every character that applies and gets hired takes over the job of the previous interviewer. I found it to be a very humorous play that deals with interviewing tactics and inter-office dilemmas. The only real main character is Linda the secretary who is the only continuing char...

Banquo's Murder Macbeth Believes
4,784 wordsthis dead butcher Is Malcolm's final judgement of Macbeth an accurate epitaph I would argue that the phrase this dead butcher would seem fully justified to describe a king who has caused the deaths of so many innocent people, but is an over-simple and rash judgement by Malcolm in his emotional circumstances. I would suggest that the label moral coward would be a more suitable title for Macbeth and his attempts to divorce himself from his murderous deeds. When Macbeth chooses ambition over his co...

Lady Windermere And Mrs Erlynne
1,540 wordsThe tradition of the well-made play emerged towards the end of the nineteenth century. It was also called piece bien faith meaning 'Second Empire Drama'. It was supported mainly by the works of Eugene Scribe, of Dumas, of Emile Augie r, and of Victorian Sardou. The tradition reached to the top with Sardou's works in which the techniques of construction invented by Scribe were completely used. Construction and stagecraft are exploited fully rather than the characterization and ideas. In the plot ...

Silence Of Andre's Mother
456 wordsIn the play "Andre's Mother" by Terence McNally Andre's mother does not speak in the play, her silence supports the theme because it shows the way people still view homosexuals even in this modern society. In the play "Andre's Mother", Andre's mother does not say a word during the entire play although the character Cal, who is Andre's gay lover, speaks to her for a great length of the play. I believe the silence represented the way homosexuality is treated today. Andre's mother was silent during...

Sense Of Ariel In Prospero

Shakespeare's Character Of Macbeth
1,534 wordsErin Sadler Shakespeare Mr. Penn The words that Shakespeare wrote over four hundred years ago are timeless. Today, hundred of years later, his works are continued to be read across the world and even made into feature films. The reason for such universality is in part because Shakespeare uses many timeless qualities in his dramatic works. I believe the most timeless aspect of drama to be love, which Shakespeare displays in A Midsummer Night's Dream and Romeo and Juliet. He also has characters po...

Caliban's Attitude To Prospero And Miranda
985 wordsTo what extent would you agree with Prospero's description of Caliban as a "thing of darkness"? In the list of characters Caliban is described as a "savage" and "deformed" slave. On stage he has been played as a lizard, a dog, a monkey, a snake and a fish. Most productions opt for the form of a misshapen man as it's very hard to imagine how the other forms could perform all the other chores that Caliban must do to satisfy Prospero. Also, it is a lot easier to fell sorry for a deformed man than a...

Nora And Torvald's Relationship
3,305 wordsA Doll's House By: Allison E-mail: Today a reader might find it hard to imagine how daring Nora Helmer was a hundred years ago. The theme of women's liberation makes this story seem almost contemporary. This was considered a controversial play featuring a woman seeking individuality. A Doll's House was the play that made Ibsen world famous. It was written well ahead of its time. In Ibsen's time it was considered an outrage for a woman such as Nora to display a mind of her own. It was unthinkable...

End Of The Play Nora
1,601 wordsIn the play, A Doll's House, by Henrik Ibsen there seems to include serious social commentary underlying in this piece. This play is obviously critical of the time period, but also presents little or no solutions. The play is critiquing the society of the time for its structured hierarchy of male dominance. The play has placed its blame by skillfully creating characters that bring forth issues of power and control, ignorance and innocence, rebirth, and social status. Throughout the course of the...
